Domain Transfer In：

Last updated 2024-01-29 18:05:05

Overview
It takes about 5–7 business days to transfer your domain to DNSPod from another registrar, after which Tencent
Cloud will provide domain services for your domain. This process is called domain transfer in.

Prerequisites
Domain transfer in is between registrars. The requirements for transfer in are as follows:
The original registrar cannot be Tencent Cloud.
You must be the domain owner or authorized by the owner to manage the domain.
The domain was registered at least 60 days ago and will expire in more than 15 days. For the domain expiration date,see WHOIS Lookup.
If an expired domain was renewed or redeemed at the original registrar less than 45 days ago, transferring it in is notrecommended, as doing so may invalidate the renewal with the original registrar or shorten the renewal period.
The domain is in normal status and not involved in any disputes or overdue payments.
The domain is not being processed by judiciaries, arbitration institutions, or domain dispute resolution agencies.
Currently, different domain suffixes have different prices. For domain suffixes that can be transferred in, see Domain
Pricing.
Note:
Domain management right and resolution right are independent of each other. If domain transfer in does not involve
DNS server changes, the existing DNS will not be affected. If you want to use the DNSPod service, proceed as
instructed in Modifying DNS Server.

Billing Description
Domain transfer in is free of charge. As stipulated by the domain registry, a domain needs to be renewed for 1 year if
transferred in.
Note:
If your domain has been renewed for 10 years (the upper limit), after you successfully pay for the transfer in order, theusage period will not be extended for one whole year.

successfully pay for a transfer order, the usage period will not be extended for one whole year.

Directions
Getting domain auth-code
Submit a domain transfer out application to the original registrar to get the domain auth-code.

At registrars outside the Chinese mainland such as GoDaddy, generally you can directly click a button in the console
to email an auth-code to the domain owner.
If you purchased the domain from an agent of a registrar such as www.net.cn and www.west.cn, and the agent refuses
to provide an auth-code, you can directly make a complaint to the registrar. If the registrar also refuses to cooperate,
you can make a complaint to registries such as ICANN or CNNIC.
According to the regulations of applicable domain administrations (ICANN Domain Transfer Policy), the originalregistrar shall not reject, restrict, or charge for domain transfers for any reason. If the original registrar hinders yourdomain transfer or charges fees, you can make a complaint to ICANN.
